Lovely Lovell Loops

I will be gone this week, but Dave Kinsman agreed to host this weeks ride.  It is a great ride, hilly but not too hilly, quiet roads  It is not a long ride so we should be able to get it done before any afternoon showers.  Short in mileage, but long on workout and scenery.

Start at the park next to the North Fryeburg Saco Valley Fire Station (corner or Route 113 and South Chatham Road). Park away from the fire station, leave that area open for the firefighters.

We head out on Harbor Road all the way to Lovell, then go up Christian Hill Road, head out by Ebenezer's Restaurant and then cross Route 5. We go up Old Waterford Road and do a scenic quiet but thrilling loop on Eastman Hill and Old Stage Road. Return is back by Ebenezer's, but then we head out to the Kezar Lake Narrows for a lakeside lunch and/or ice cream break and maybe a swim. Head back via Shave Hill (sometimes called Swamp Road) and Harbor Road.

This is a 24 mile ride. It can be lengthened if desired adding in Fish Street/MacNeil or MacNeil, up Fish, down Cornshop.
